righteous_a must_v needs_o end_v in_o joy_n six_o then_o also_o we_o see_v here_o that_o cross_n and_o affliction_n be_v only_o lesser_a and_o great_a as_o it_o please_v the_o great_a god_n to_o set_v

some_o taste_n and_o sense_n of_o his_o encensed_a wrath_n oh_o who_o then_o can_v dwell_v with_o such_o everlasting_a burn_n and_o if_o smale_a sin_n discover_v thus_o set_v on_o and_o torment_v yea_o some_o thought_n only_o as_o in_o this_o good_a gentlewoman_n oh_o what_o may_v the_o great_a do_v if_o he_o shall_v aggravate_v they_o discover_v the_o wrath_n due_a unto_o they_o without_o a_o suitable_a sight_n of_o mercy_n therefore_o to_o break_v off_o our_o sin_n betimes_o repent_v of_o they_o and_o to_o sow_v for_o ourselves_o in_o righteousness_n that_o we_o may_v have_v a_o sure_a

that_o this_o which_o god_n appoint_v be_v always_o best_a for_o we_o whether_o he_o lead_v we_o in_o a_o wilderness_n in_o a_o a_o straight_o crooked_a smooth_a tedious_a long_a afflict_a way_n by_o

of_o the_o river_n of_o his_o pleasure_n for_o ever_o therefore_o to_o rest_v confident_a and_o patient_a in_o all_o affliction_n see_v our_o comfort_n be_v at_o length_n beyond_o all_o our_o cross_n
